Space is a war fighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.

True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.

• Be the offset.We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.
• What would it take?We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
• It’s the people.Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.

Creatives like you are essential to this mission — to inspire, define, and build. This is some of the most meaningful workyou’llever do, in an industry devoted to protecting the people you care about.

We’relooking for an experienced industrial designer tobe part ofournewhardware design team at an early and exciting moment for the company. This is a fully hands-on role — sketching, modelling, prototyping, and detailing real hardware, and whatever else the mission demands. There is no team to manage and no agency to brief; your artistic talent isfrontand center and your own hands are on the work.

You’llwork directly with our design leadership and with the engineers building the hardware, in a team being built for people who care as much about the craft as the mission.

There’sno established playbook for how space security hardware should look. No legacy design language handed down from a fifty-year-old program. No committee approving your surfaces. What youcrafthere will shape how an emerging and critical industry presents itself — and how seriously it is taken.

You’llhave real impact on our space hardware with some of whatof what you designmaking it on‑orbit, and the rest will be seen at the highest levels of government and military.

Ifyou’veever wanted your craft to carry real weight — this is that job.

• Help us build ourfamilyofproducts. Take hardware from concept to production — sketch, model, prototype, refine, and detail
• Work through the real compromises with hardware engineering — packaging, thermal, structural, harness routing — and keep the design intent alive on the other side
• Prototype physically and quickly. Print it, mock it up, hold it, and be honest about what you learn
• Produce therenders, animations, and drawings that let executives, customers, and manufacturing partners see exactly what we intend to build
• Bring impeccable design and artistic vision into everything we do, make us stand out

• Show us an amazing portfolio of hardware you designed — including the sketches and the ugly middle, not only the hero renders
• Strong surfacing and CAD skills in whateveryou’refastest in, and comfort working from and back into engineering CAD
• Practical manufacturing knowledge — machining, sheet metal, additive, molding,coatingsand finishes — and a habit of designing for how a thingactually getsmade
• Consumer, automotive, aerospace, robotics, medical, and industrial equipment backgrounds all fit. Defense and space knowledge is great, wedon’texpect it
• An active security clearance is a bonus, not a requirement
• We work in Adobe Creative Suite,Blenderor Cinema 4
  
  Dfor visualization, and alongside engineering CAD — comfort with these is a plus, mastery of your own toolset matters more

• Leverage your experience to work quickly and efficiently,we’rea lean team, everyone needs to pitch in and move fast
• Take ownership of designproblemsand see them through, space is hard
• Turn your hand to what’s needed
